Frazer Boys Lose Two

Correction: Last week’s headline and story on the Frazer Bearcubs boys basketball team stated the team won their first game in five years. The win was the first in three years. The Courier apologizes for the error.

The Frazer boys basketball team fell in two conference match-ups this past weekend. The Bearcubs fell to the visiting Dodson Coyotes 75-24 Jan. 14 and then lost to a hot North Country team 83-37 in Hinsdale Jan. 15.

Saturday in Hinsdale, the Mavericks also took early control of the game, going up 27-11 after the first quarter. They outscored Frazer 22-10 in the second for a 49-21 lead at the half.

Frazer was unable to stop North Country’s scoring streak in the third as the Mavericks put up 25 points to Frazer’s 9. The Bearcubs were again outscored, 9-7, in the final eight minutes of play.
